Sculptures Made of Bicycle Chains

Korean artist Seo Young-Deok is a metalsmith and sculptor who creates hyper-realistic sculptures of the human body made with welded iron or stainless steel chains. He uses parts from bicycles and industrial machinery for the life-size works.

“He uses chains to question the industrialization of labor that has become synonymous with today’s human condition,” one of his galleries says about the works. (here)
